ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD STUDIO APPRENTICE
Ages 16-21
Summer 2016, Morgan State University
In this software skills workshop, student fellows will gain a complete understanding of the most important Adobe Creative Cloud applications in a video production pipeline. These programs--Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and Premiere--are at the core of design, motion graphics animation, and editing for film. Expanding the fellows' creativity and technical knowledge will be our emphasis as we work through all phases of the production cycle and examine where each program is best utilized. Fellows will gain an understanding of Adobe Creative Cloud applications Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and Premiere; design graphics and logos combining applications; use design elements in a motion graphics animation; work with video in a non-linear editing environment. Each fellow will create a short, creative commercial (30 seconds) for their portfolio and to share at a public screening and on the program website. Limited to 12 student fellows.
